0:00:49 > 0:00:52- There's some walking, socializing...
0:00:52 > 0:00:55- ..and fund-raising to train a dog - and call it Arthur...
0:00:55 > 0:00:57- ..in memory of the late - Arthur Rowlands.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02- I mark 80 years of trig points - that mapped the British landscape.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04- And they're still as relevant today.
0:01:07 > 0:01:13- It's also school's out for good - at Llandysul's Ysgol Dyffryn Teifi.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- First, let's head back to Gerallt.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24- We hear that it's a busy week for - the Gwynedd Guide Dogs Association.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- It's a week to celebrate - and commemorate...
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- ..the special contribution - of the late, Arthur Rowlands...
0:01:33 > 0:01:39- ..and his work of establishing - the Gwynedd Guide Dog Association.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- Arthur Rowlands was certainly - the face of Gwynedd Guide Dogs.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- He worked as a policeman...
0:01:50 > 0:01:55- ..until he was shot in the face - on duty near Machynlleth in 1961.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- Arthur received five guide dogs - during his lifetime...
0:01:59 > 0:02:04- ..and never lost an opportunity - to promote the work of the charity.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09- It's no surprise that there's been - celebrations and tributes...
0:02:09 > 0:02:14- ..along the walking tours which - commenced in Barmouth this week.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Buddug, this makes a change - for you and Freya.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23- Yes, it's nice to see it dry - after all the downpours.
0:02:26 > 0:02:31- Freya and I have come here today - to take part in the walking tour...
0:02:33 > 0:02:38- ..which remembers 40 years since - Arthur Rowlands set up this branch.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45- How important is Aggie to you - in your everyday life?
0:02:46 > 0:02:51- Before having Aggie I was stuck - at home and I couldn't do a lot.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59- Aggie is great company and knows - when I'm down and keeps me happy.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- I couldn't do anything without her.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Carys has come to show her support.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17- Yes, my brother-in-law - was related to Arthur Rowlands.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- He was an important figure to him - after losing his sight.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- I've travelled here by bus - from Bala today.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- My father was also struck down - with macular disease...
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- ..which had a massive impact on him.
0:03:36 > 0:03:44- Today is about coming together, - but how important is it to you?
0:03:46 > 0:03:51- It's really important to me - as we get to know each other.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56- We enjoy each other's company - and the dogs enjoy socializing.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06- One of the aims is to raise funds - for a dog and name it after Arthur.
0:04:11 > 0:04:19- Yes, it's a fantastic Welsh name - and Arthur was a king to us all.
0:04:20 > 0:04:25- He would boost our confidence - and helped those who were blind.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32- Once they spoke to Arthur, - they changed their outlook.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- We've arrive at Criccieth today.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- We've discussed walking - and having fun...
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- ..but need to mention the important - matter of raising heaps of money...
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- ..to help train a guide dog.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- It costs 5,000 to train - and care for a guide dog.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- It's 50,000 during its lifetime, - but 5,000 for its first year.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12- We aim to raise 5,000 this year - to name a dog Arthur...
0:05:13 > 0:05:18- ..in memory of our honourable - president, Arthur Rowlands.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- There's a Justgiving page - where you can donate to us.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31- Can you take your head off, Pero?
0:05:33 > 0:05:39- Sioned is Buddug's granddaughter - and delighted to show her support.
0:05:40 > 0:05:46- Yes, it's amazing how these dogs can - transform lives, especially Nain's.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52- You can wear your costume head - for the rest of the tour!
0:05:53 > 0:05:59- The message is to dig deep into your - pockets and help a worthwhile cause.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- Back to you in Llanelli.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- Thank you, Gerallt.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- We'll return to Gerallt - later in the programme.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16- Arthur is my uncle.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- He was my grandmother's brother. - He was such a gentleman.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- There's folk music on Friday night.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- Expect to enjoy local artists - including Teulu Moeldrehaearn...
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- ..Sian James and Hen Fegin.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- There's also a book launch.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- How did it all come about?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- After the 2003 Eisteddfod...
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- ..people wanted to keep the momentum - going in the area.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- Since then they have held this - festival.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- Where is the pub?
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- The festival is held in the - Llangadfan area.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- There's a great welcome there.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Everyone seems to return year after - year.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- The pub is very isolated. - Can people camp?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Visitors are able to camp next door - to the pub.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- You can also jump on a bus - to get to the festival.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- People of all ages can enjoy here.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- You are back home really.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- My grandfather was raised in - Llanerfyl.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- His mother worked on the farm - where I now live.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00- This is quite spooky!
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- I think it's fate.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- I've lived in the area for about - eight years now.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- What about the football on Saturday?
0:09:34 > 0:09:39- A big screen will be erected to - watch the Wales football match.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- Don't run off to Paris - - come to the Cann Office Festival!
0:09:54 > 0:09:58- Hopefully, this year's event - will be more of a success.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- There are dance sessions
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- Myrddin ap Dafydd - also has a poetry competition.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- Storm, Casset, - and Cowbois Rhos Botwnnog...
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- ..all perform on Saturday evening.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- Thank you, Mari.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- We'll chat again later.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- We're familiar with seeing - super schools being built...
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- ..as they take the place - of more traditional schools.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36- Ysgol Dyffryn Teifi school - in Llandysul closes next month.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- The site has been home - to two schools since 1895.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46- A commemorative event has been - arranged for Saturday at the school.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- Ysgol Dyffryn Teifi - opened in 1984...
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- ..the year I left Llandysul - Grammar School.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- The site is an important link - between the two schools.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- It's not only Ysgol Dyffryn Teifi - which has been here.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- The site in Llandysul - has been home to two schools.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- It's a lovely building, but what - makes Dyffryn Teifi so special...
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- ..are the people who have walked - these corridors over the years.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- It helps that it's a small school.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Everyone knows everybody else. - We are all friends.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- People say that the school is one, - big family.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- It's a happy school to work in.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- Having been here for five years, - it's like a second home to us.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- We know every corner and everyone - walking the corridors.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- It will be sad to move - to a more modern site.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- It's an exciting time.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- We are moving to a new site - with new facilities.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49- Everything will be under one roof.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- Everything will be brand-new.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- We will be the first ones - to use the facilities.
0:11:56 > 0:12:02- There is a gymnasium, an Astroturf - pitch and a drama room - everything.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- It looks amazing - with big classrooms.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- Plenty of room for everyone.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- This is my seventh and final year - at Ysgol Dyffryn Teifi.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16- It feels special to end our time - at Dyffryn Teifi...
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- ..with the building itself.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- There's a open day, - which gives former pupils...
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- ..of the grammar school - and of Ysgol Dyffryn Teifi...
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- ..the chance to revisit the school, - maybe for the last time.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35- There is entertainment, food - and a chance for former pupils...
0:12:36 > 0:12:41- ..to take part in activities and - to contribute to the entertainment.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46- I will be performing on the day to - say farewell to Ysgol Dyffryn Teifi.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- We will celebrate the years that - have gone by.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- It will be strange - to pass the school...
0:12:53 > 0:12:58- ..and not to see children running - around and the place all quiet.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- It's a chance for the younger - children...
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- ..to go up to the new school and - make use of the new facilities.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- I have only been at the school - for one year.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- I'm very excited to go to the new - school and create a new history.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- Many of the teachers will mourn the - old school on the hill, as will I.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- There is no doubt about that.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- Now we climb to the top of the hill, - look over the valley...
0:13:23 > 0:13:27- ..and look forward to developing - the talents we have nurtured here.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34- Make sure you visit on Saturday.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39- That's it from us for now, - but we've got this in the next part.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44- Our weatherman, Steff Griffiths, - has been on Caerphilly Mountain...
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- ..to commemorate 80 years - of trig points.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- We also pay tribute to the late - Charlie Price of Deganwy...
0:13:54 > 0:14:00- ..who represented Wales in a French - football tournament, 80 years ago.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10- Subtitles
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- Welcome back.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19- If enjoy a mountain trek, - you'll be familiar with trig points.
0:14:20 > 0:14:26- The pillars were raised 80 years ago - to map the landscape of Britain.
0:14:28 > 0:14:33- Steff Griffiths marks the milestone - at the peak of Caerphilly Mountain.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41- Even Steff couldn't arrange - glorious weather for the day!
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- Today, I'm here - in the Caerphilly area...
0:14:49 > 0:14:53- ..because this year, we celebrate - something that has helped us...
0:14:54 > 0:14:56- ..to understand the geography - of the country.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- The trig point.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- It's now 80 years...
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- ..since these iconic pillars - first appeared across the country.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- The reason they were built - was because before 1936...
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- ..there weren't any precise, - national maps.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17- The map system was failing...
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- ..so it was decided - to create a national system.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- These pillars would be used - to improve the maps.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- Ordnance Survey workers built them.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35- Big teams of them climbed mountains - with sand and cement.
0:15:35 > 0:15:41- It took a lot of hard work - to build them all.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43- Gareth, this is a trig point.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45- Gareth, this is a trig point.- - Yes, a trig point.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- It's incredible to think - that they built 6,500 of them.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- They say it resembles an iceberg.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00- That's because, underneath them, - there is another metre of concrete.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06- On the top is a hook - in which to insert a theodolite.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- That would ensure the theodolite - was completely safe.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- By looking at another trig point...
0:16:14 > 0:16:20- ..they would use angles to work out - exactly where they were situated.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- From the trig point - on Caerphilly Common...
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- ..two other trig points can be seen.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- Mynydd Meio to the north - and Garth Hill to the west.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- This is crucial - for successful mapping.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39- If you don't know the distance - between Point A and Point B...
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- ..then by working out - the angles to Point C...
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- ..and by using - simple trigonometry...
0:16:46 > 0:16:50- ..the distances between all three - points can be calculated.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54- Once the measurements between - one triangle have been achieved...
0:16:54 > 0:16:59- ..the process is repeated - in order to map the entire country.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- These days, trig points - are no longer used for mapping.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08- Modern methods, such as GPS and - satellite imaging are now used.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- Having said that...
0:17:11 > 0:17:15- ..if you're lost with nothing more - than a map and a compass...
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- ..the old way is still the best.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29- Hello, Math, it's fresh.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Fresh is one word to describe this!
0:17:33 > 0:17:35- You often use trig pillars.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- Trig points are important - because they are fixed points.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- That means that on a map, - they will not move.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- On an OS map...
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- ..they are denoted by a small, - blue triangle with a circle inside.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- We can look - at a map and the mountains...
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- ..and by using triangulation, - find out our exact position.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- Here on this ridge...
0:18:01 > 0:18:06- ..we can see Caerphilly Common, - Mynydd Meio and Garth Hill.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10- Earlier, by using a compass, - I took a bearing to each one...
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- ..and drew a line on the map.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- These days, - everyone has a phone or a tablet.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- How important is it to keep - this tradition alive?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- It's not a tradition, it's a skill.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- Phones and computers - rely on battery power.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- Batteries will die.
0:18:35 > 0:18:40- These skills are needed if something - goes wrong when you're out walking.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44- By using triangulation - and trig points...
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- ..you can find out - your exact location...
0:18:48 > 0:18:53- ..in order to call for help or just - to assist your onward journey.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- Next time you're out walking - and pass a trig point...
0:19:01 > 0:19:06- ..you'll know the crucial part they - played in the mapping of Britain.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- Considering the resources - they had back then...
0:19:11 > 0:19:15- ..it's amazing how accurate - this mapping method actually was.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26- Everyone's gone football mad - during the past fortnight...
0:19:26 > 0:19:30- ..as Wales are performing - remarkably well in the Euros.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- Good luck to them on Saturday!
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- But did you know that Wales - played in France back in 1936?
0:19:40 > 0:19:44- One of the players - was Charlie Price of Deganwy.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- Gerallt met him recently - to hear all about it.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52- Since filming the item, - Charlie sadly passed away...
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- ..but his family gave us - permission to broadcast it.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- Let's return to Gerallt.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- The late Charlie Price - was quite a character.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- I first met him - about eighteen months ago.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07- This is what he did...
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- ..at the ripe old age of 97!
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- Charlie Price - was a real adventurer at heart.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27- Following the filming - at the zip wire in Bethesda...
0:20:27 > 0:20:32- ..he told me about being chosen to - play for the Urdd football team...
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- ..that competed out in France - 80 years ago.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- Did you enjoy playing for Wales?
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- Did you enjoy playing for Wales?- - Good Lord, yes!
0:20:43 > 0:20:48- I was very proud and delighted to - have been chosen to go out there.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50- I loved playing football.
0:20:51 > 0:20:57- In the last game in Calais, we - played against a professional side.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- We were given a real thrashing.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- A thrashing.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09- This is the shirt that you wore - to play football 80 years ago.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- Yes.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- It's quite amazing.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19- Instead of an international cap, - I have a shirt!
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- It was an honour to have known - Charlie Price...
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- ..and it's sad that he didn't live - to see Wales...
